Effects of Blocking αvβ3 integrin by a recombinant RGD disintegrin on remodeling of wound healing after induction of incisional hernia in rats [PDF]

open access: yesActa Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2014
PURPOSE: Incisional hernia (IH) is characterized by defective wound healing process. Disba-01, a αvb3 integrin blocker has shown to control the rate of wound repair and therefore it could be a target for new wound healing therapies.The objective of the ...

Disintegrins from Hematophagous Sources [PDF]

open access: yesToxins, 2012
Bloodsucking arthropods are a rich source of salivary molecules (sialogenins) which inhibit platelet aggregation, neutrophil function and angiogenesis. Here we review the literature on salivary disintegrins and their targets. Disintegrins were first discovered in snake venoms, and were instrumental in our understanding of integrin function and also for

Isolation of an Anti–tumour Disintegrin: Dabmaurin–1, a Peptide Lebein–1–like, from Daboia mauritanica Venom

open access: yesToxins, 2020
In the soft treatment of cancer tumours, consequent downregulation of the malignant tissue angiogenesis constitutes an efficient way to stifle tumour development and metastasis spreading. As angiogenesis requires integrin−promoting endothelial cell

The Role of Snake Venom Disintegrins in Angiogenesis

open access: yesToxins, 2023
Angiogenesis is a critical process in various physiological and pathological conditions, and snake venom disintegrins (SVDs) have been shown to be important regulators of this process. In this review, we explore the dual roles of SVD in angiogenesis, both as antiangiogenic agents by inhibiting integrin binding and interfering with vascular endothelial ...

Circulating TREM2 as a noninvasive diagnostic biomarker for NASH in patients with elevated liver stiffness

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Reliable noninvasive biomarkers are an unmet clinical need for the diagnosis of NASH. This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of the circulating triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (plasma TREM2) as a biomarker for NASH in patients with NAFLD and elevated liver stiffness.

Emergence of highly profibrotic and proinflammatory Lrat+Fbln2+ HSC subpopulation in alcoholic hepatitis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated genome editing reveals seven testis‐enriched transmembrane glycoproteins dispensable for male fertility in mice

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background Mammalian fertilization is mediated by multiple sperm acrosomal proteins, many of which are testis‐enriched transmembrane glycoproteins expressed during spermiogenesis (e.g., Izumo sperm‐egg fusion 1, Sperm acrosome associated 6, and Transmembrane protein 95).

Snake venom disintegrins: novel dimeric disintegrins and structural diversification by disulphide bond engineering [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2003
We report the isolation and amino acid sequences of six novel dimeric disintegrins from the venoms of Vipera lebetina obtusa (VLO), V. berus (VB), V. ammodytes (VA), Echis ocellatus (EO) and Echis multisquamatus (EMS). Disintegrins VLO4, VB7, VA6 and EO4 displayed the RGD motif and inhibited the adhesion of K562 cells, expressing the integrin α5β1 to ...

Purification of a fragment obtained by autolysis of a PIIIb-SVMP from Bothrops alternatus venom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Snake Venom Metalloproteinases (SVMPs) represent 43.1% of the components in Bothrops alternatus venom and play an important role in envenomation. Disintegrins and disintegrin-like domains are released by proteolytic processing of PII and PIII classes of ...

Detectable A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase With Thrombospondin Motifs-1 in Serum Is Associated With Adverse Outcome in Pediatric Sepsis

open access: yesCritical Care Explorations, 2021
IMPORTANCE:. A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs-1 is hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis of invasive infection, but studies in sepsis are lacking. OBJECTIVES:.
